The Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress has custody of a collection of photographs of the Negro Building and exhibits at the Cotton States Exposition. A broader search of the Prints & Photographs Online Catalog indicates that there are other photographs of the Negro Building that are digitized and available online. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Prints and Photographs Reading Room if you would like more information about this material.
If you are interested in Booker T. Washington's 1895 Atlanta Compromise Speech, you may also wish to consult the Booker T. Washington Papers in Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. Please contact the Manuscript Reading Room for additional information about this collection.
